SUMMARY:Letters from Chelsea and the Siege of Boston
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Mimi Graney at 6:30 p.m. \nDuring the Siege of Boston\, as war and hardship consumed the city\, Chelsea became an unexpected refuge. This presentation brings the crisis to life through firsthand accounts that reveal the uncertainty\, fear\, and resilience of those caught in the turmoil. At the heart of these accounts are the letters of Colonel Loammi Baldwin\, who reported directly to General George Washington while overseeing the flood of desperate civilians escaping Boston via the Winnisimmet Ferry. Baldwin’s correspondence provides a vivid record of the refugee movement\, the surveillance of British ships\, and the challenges of defending Chelsea during this pivotal moment in the Revolution. \nAbout Mimi Graney\nMimi Graney is a trustee of the Bellingham Cary House and formerly worked for the City of Chelsea where she focused on public art and local initiatives for community building and economic development. She is the author of Fluff: The Sticky Sweet Story of an American Icon\, which traces the history of Marshmallow Fluff while exploring broader themes of American culture\, industrialization\, and advertising.
